You're welcome to paint some if you're into that. Post some pix if you do. 🤙🏻 I would love to write a series on the VileHeart Ravagers and their long slow descent into madness.
Mozilla will soon launch support for an open ecosystem of extensions on #Firefox for #Android. Developers should optimize their desktop extensions for mobile use. Mozilla will provide guides, resources, and community events to support the transition. Developers should transition background scripts to non-persistent event pages for improved stability.
At the #DEFCON #cybersecurity conference in Las Vegas, five teams of #hackers are competing to remotely take control of the #SpaceX #satellite #Moonlighter. The U.S. Air Force and Space Force organized the event to identify #security gaps and build more #secure space systems. The competition reflects the growing danger of #cyberattacks on U.S. defenses, as #China and #Russia have been developing capabilities to #exploit and #hijack satellites. The hackers in the competition are also using #encryption and #firewall protections to prevent other teams from accessing their own systems. The winning team will be announced on Sunday.

Jamie Reid, the graphic designer who defined punk's visual character, dies at 76. Reid's iconic designs for the Sex Pistols, including "God Save the Queen," challenged artistic norms. His influence extended beyond #punk, with work in exhibitions and collections worldwide.
Good morning #nostr, I hope y’all are as excited for the weekend as I am. 😎☕️
You might notice a new NIP-05, it designates members of the unfilteredNetwork team. 👍🏻🤙🏻
Off we go! 🚀

Fall Armyworm is my guess.
No, but you might like Lore, it’s a really great podcast.
Good night #nostr, I'll be dreaming of good things to come. 💤🤙🏻
I’m excited about the future of #nostr 🤙🏻

The BIP39 wordlist, comprising 2048 predetermined words, serves the purpose of generating mnemonic or seed phrases for cryptocurrency wallets. Understanding the probabilities involved in this scenario is vital for evaluating the security and uniqueness of these seed phrases. Let’s delve into the probabilities linked to matching varying numbers of words in the BIP39 wordlist, while also discussing the underlying assumptions and factors that can impact the actual probabilities.
1. Matching one word:
Let's consider the probability of two individuals selecting the same word from the BIP39 wordlist. Since there are a total of 2048 words on the list, the probability of two people choosing the same word is given by the fraction 1/2048.
2. Matching two words:
In this scenario, we need to determine the probability of two people randomly selecting the same two words from the BIP39 wordlist. The likelihood of selecting the first word is 1/2048, and the probability of selecting the second word is also 1/2048. To find the overall probability, we multiply these individual probabilities together: (1/2048) * (1/2048) = 1/4,194,304.
3. Matching three words:
Similar to the previous scenario, the probability of two individuals randomly selecting the same three words is calculated by multiplying the individual probabilities of selecting each word: (1/2048) * (1/2048) * (1/2048) = 1/8,589,934,592.
4. Matching all twelve words:
The most significant scenario involves determining the probability of two people randomly selecting the exact same 12-word seed phrase from the BIP39 wordlist. Considering that each word has a probability of 1/2048, we can raise this probability to the power of 12 to account for all twelve words: (1/2048)^12 = 1/2,176,782,336,000,000.
Calculating the probabilities associated with matching 12-word seed phrases from the BIP39 wordlist provides valuable insights into the uniqueness and security of these phrases. The calculations demonstrate that as the number of matching words increases, the probability decreases exponentially. However, it is crucial to acknowledge that these calculations are based on the assumption of truly random and independent word selections. In practice, there might be non-randomness or biases in the word selection process, which can impact the actual probabilities.

Llamas and donkeys have been known to be pretty good at protecting a flock from predators and won’t much bother the chickens.
This repository contains the game #code for the 2023 rerelease of #Quake II, for users who wish to #mod the #game, along with the original game code that was use for reference.
The author of the Hover Zoom+ Chrome extension has received multiple proposals to monetize their extension, including partnerships, monetizing user data, and purchasing the extension. They are open to discussing the offers and potential collaborations which do not interfere with the user experience or collect personal data, but where are those offers? 😂
3 days off work, time for my first(?) Pre-Announcement Announcement!!!1
Friday: Run errands with the wife; port nostr chrome extension to Firefox
Saturday: Farmers Market in the AM; fuzz test new DB for a nostr iOS client
Sunday: Unveil new 6 month project building on top of nostr. 👈🏻👇🏻
Teaser: 
Can I fuzz test your DB before you release it? I have a cluster of CPU sitting idle. 🥷🏻
A federal court has ruled that federal restrictions on #marijuana users possessing #firearms are #unconstitutional, stating that a law from 1968 should not be applied so broadly. The case involved a man sentenced to #prison for possessing firearms and marijuana, despite no evidence of him being under the influence of #cannabis at the time. NORML's Legal Committee supported the finding, and similar decisions have been made in #Oklahoma and #Texas, prompting calls for either the #SupremeCourt or #Congress to establish this as the law of the land. #weedstr #gunstr

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear one of the most important #tax cases in history, which could either greenlight the constitutionality of an economically disastrous wealth tax, or destroy critical parts of the US tax system. #taxationistheft
